Lynda Carter shows playful side while posing with daughter Jessica Altman at Schiaparelli show

Lynda Carter, the iconic "Wonder Woman" star, stood out at Paris Fashion Week, attending the Schiaparelli Haute Couture show with her lookalike daughter, Jessica Altman. The duo turned heads on January 27, stepping out in coordinated black outfits that showcased their striking resemblance and timeless elegance.

Carter, 73, wore a chic black turtleneck dress and a cropped black jacket. She accessorized the look with black boots and a matching handbag, exuding understated sophistication. Her daughter, Altman, 34, also opted for a black dress, layering it with a long open jacket. Completing her ensemble with black heels, Altman added a modern edge to their matching aesthetic.

Both outfits were adorned with gold accents, a nod to Schiaparelli's signature style. Their shared elegance made it easy to mistake them for twins, though their hairstyles offered a playful contrast: Carter's hair was styled in a sleek bun, while Altman let her soft brunette waves flow freely.

Last January, they also attended Paris Fashion Week, appearing at the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture spring/summer 2024 runway show. Carter opted for a bold, colorful shawl with tassels over a black pantsuit, while Altman embraced a more minimalist look with a white turtleneck and black parachute trousers.

Since her husband's passing, Carter has embarked on a journey of self-discovery. In an emotional interview, she reflected on her loss: "I don't know who I am without Robert. It still gets me. I just can't believe I've lost him."  

Carter channeled her grief into music to honor his memory, writing "Human and Divine," a song celebrating their enduring love. "It was a real romance," she said. "I was trying to define love and loss and the human-ness of love."

A Love That Withstood Life's Challenges  

Lynda Carter and Robert Altman's love story began in 1982 at a dinner party hosted by Maybelline. Despite going through a divorce at the time, Carter felt an undeniable connection with Altman. The couple weathered professional and personal challenges over nearly four decades together.
